Login Headaches

Logging in is big trouble, once its triggers 2FA it goes back to logging page, very poor experience

App broken

App is broken not supporting login thru sso over 6 months!! Shame on bamboo!

Crashing

It crashes every time I try to login with Microsoft sso

App is not great

Used to be fine but can no longer view resumes. Pointless now.

Pointless App

Making a mobile ATS app that doesn’t parse any resume data, or allow you to review resumes on mobile just seems like a comically erroneous decision?

Why even make a separate app at this point?

This fits in perfectly with the rest of BambooHR’s painfully difficult software offerings.

Can’t see resume or cover letters in the app

This app used to be great. You could see when people apply and read their resume and cover letter. Now the app says to go to a computer to read the app and cover letter. Not sure what the point of this app is any longer.

No resume?

A Hiring app where you can’t look at somebody’s resume doesn’t really make sense. that seems like a basic requirement.

Locked me out

Really bad when you need to hire someone quick and you cannot even access the information because this locks you out and doesn’t work fast enough to help solve the issue or even reset the password!! I am so frustrated and do not recommend. I have applications I cannot access right now and cannot get my work finished. Horrible. Just horrible!!

Great tool but app could be better

We have been using BambooHR ATS for 4years and I love it! The app only provides the basic functionalities with ease like candidate profiles in an organized manner, but pales in comparison to all the capabilities that the ATS can perform.

iPad

Not iPad compatible! Why is this a little rectangle on my screen?!

Simple but effective

Used only to review applications as they come in which is nice. Not as functional as desktop but it does the job if you want to monitor and review applications.

Need Talent Pools

Need to be able to send candidates to talent pools from mobile. Other than that it’s ok.

Also need to be able to copy phone number and choose what app to text from. We use a voip app for our office and I don’t want to text from my personal phone.

IPAD app

This works horribly on an IPAD

Bad bad bad

This app is bad. It doesn’t work, doesn’t let you go to desktop even on iPad and, if I can reiterate, doesn’t work.

Forced to use limited app

It bothers me that users are forced robuste this dysfunctional and limited app when opening a link from a bamboohr email.

Unusable on an iPAD

I don’t know why the links force the app instead of one of my browsers. This app is horrible and doesn’t scale larger than a phone. So all of the information is more or less lost on the many pages of text.

Dear BambooHR. Get the device capabilities, and either launch a browser by default on iPAD or take the 45m needed to recompile a version that scales up when its not a phone.

Still immature

We started using it. Massive amounts of emails sent to your inbox and no way to control it (this actually might be a GDPR concern). Their App doesn’t support notification (something most Apps support about 15 hrs ago).
For a young company you’d think they’d get these basics right first.

BambooHR update problem

Latest update , app won’t open “¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “

Sucks on an IPAD

Does not work well when you are trying to use an IPad. Does turn to full screen and doesn’t allow the same functions as when you are using it through the Web.

Ratings dont save

Half the time the ratings dont save on candidates, and I have to go back into their profile and re-review their application sometimes several times until it actually saves
